From JediMAC: Alright, since our prior Kubrick thread was getting too big, it's time to start all over again with yet another new one - so here we go with Star Wars Kubrick thread #6 - Attack of the Kubricks! Good time to start over, with Dale's news on the Series 4 figures! So here's a quick recap of our Kubrick history here at JD, for anyone looking to catch up on things: Revenge of the Kubricks! (part 5), Power of the Kubricks! (part 4), Return of the Kubricks! (part 3), The Kubricks Strike Back (part 2), and if you want to read all the way back to the original thread that started it all, New Star Wars Kubricks (part 1). Now carry on, and enjoy the Kubrickmania, here at JD!--------------------------------

Display your Star Wars action figure collection with this new display diorama! This is the first of six planned dioramas, and is based on Star Wars: A New Hope. The backcard is reversible, featuring two popular scenes that include a Jawa Sandcrawler on planet Tatooine on one side, and X-wing fighters engaging the Death Star on the other. The display comes complete with 50 polycarbonite figure stands (figures not included).

I received these Mexican bootleg figures from a great friend Joseph Yglesias yesterday in the mail. I have seen these on toysrgus.com & ebay from time to time. I really don't know much about these, only from what I have read.

These figures are awesome, not the best figures for the plastic & paint job but cool none the less.

These 2 carded figures have 3 figures sealed in a clear baggie & stapled to shrunk down copy of a modern POTF card. Not sure if these were sold that way in the south. Maybe if Joseph pops in here he can give the answer.

Next week, we are updating the policy governing when a seller may end or change their listing. This will align our sellers’ ability to manage their listings with our buyers’ ability to retract bids. Currently, buyers have limitations on retracting bids during the last 12 hours of a listing. Today, our policy allows a seller to cancel bids and end an item at any time as long as one of the following reasons is met:

The item is no longer available for sale. There was an error in the starting price or reserve amount. There was an error in the listing. The item was lost or broken. Sellers are also prevented from making changes to a listing during the final 12 hours. Beginning next week, if a listing has 12 or fewer hours remaining and has, or had, a winning bid during the final 12 hours of the listing, the seller will no longer be able to end the listing, except to sell to the current high bidder on eBay. Sellers may still cancel specific bids that they find unwelcome, but may no longer utilize the "cancel all bids and end this item" feature.

The practice of canceling all bids and ending an item early with only minutes left is very frustrating to buyers. This change should improve the overall buyer experience.

Sellers may still end listings during the final 12 hours of the listing if the item does not have any bids.

This will make it beneficial if thre are bids or you are watching an auction to bid on if the price is in your range. No more watching an auction to have the seller cancel it at the last few minutes which has been a problem on going for yrs.

I've seen it many times where the seller pulls the auction with minutes to go because the price is to low for what they want if there is no reserve. Heck, thats usually when the bidding war starts!

Maybe this change will help out looking for that vintage/modern SW item for your collection.
